    Dont be angry at argos, we couldnt help it.
    Blame technology.
    I had so many people shouting at me today because of the system error. I dont think its very fair!!

    Yes but some 'human being' at your IT dept. programmed your Computers and caused the problem in the beginning. Too much sherry at Argos IT HQ :rotfl:

    Seriously though. I got 20 reserved many more - and it was just a bit of a bonus!!! Happy Christmas to all at Argos IT dept:xmassign:

    I used to have the same when I worked for a Blue Chip IT company and workers cut through cables in the street. It was always 'our' fault.

    Seriously though. You are the face of the company. You get paid to deal with mistakes and unhappy customers. No excuse for rude customers, but unhappy ones, it was your companies fault in the first place.

    I must admit when I worked in the IT section and customers came on moaning because of faults beyond our control, I felt so frustrated.
    Couldn't wait to get home too. ;)

  • I managed to get the 3 i reserved online fine, paying through the self serve machines in Peterborough - 50p for 3. There were 5 in stock when i went to check online yesterday but thought I'd be nice and leave 2 for somebody else, already have too much chocolate in the house!

    From looking at this thread there must have been an awful lot of Chocolate Orange thefts last night, spanning the whole country. You'd have thought that would have warranted a news story, wouldn't you? :rotfl:
